2006 Dodge Durango complaints

I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM WHEN LEAVING WORK BY SIMPLY UNLOCKING MY 06 DURANGO (ALL WHEEL DRIVE/ 4 WHEEL DRIVE) WITH THE KEY FOB THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MOTOR STARTS SHIFTING THE TRUCK IN AND OUT FROM AWD TO 4WD AND I HAVEN'T EVEN OPENED THE DOOR!! AS THE WEEKS PASS IT DOES THIS SEVERAL MORE TIMES BUT WHAT IS MORE UNNERVING IS THAT AS I AM DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS, 60 TO 70 MPH, OR ANY SPEED REALLY, MY "4 WHEEL LOW" LIGHT ON THE DASH WILL START TO FLICKER AS IF IT IS TRYING TO SHIFT INTO 4 WHEEL LOW UN-COMMANDED. AFTER SEARCHING SEVERAL FORUMS I FIND THIS TO BE A COMMON CHRONIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH DURANGOS AND A HUGE SAFETY RISK. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT MAX SPEED FOR A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT IS IN 4 WHEEL LOW IS ABOUT 10 TO 15 MPH, THE GEAR RATIO IS EXTREMELY LOW AND INTENDED FOR MAXIMUM TRACTION WHEN OFF ROAD. IF THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO 4 WHEEL LOW AT 70 MPH ALL 4 WHEELS WILL COME TO A STOP AND THE DRIVER WILL MOST LIKELY LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL. AT THAT SPEED THIS IS A DANGEROUS COMBINATION. I HAVE READ OF THIS HAPPENING TO DURANGOS WITH SERIOUS DAMAGE AND HUGE EXPENSE FOR THE OWNER. THIS VERY SCENARIO HAPPENED TO A CO-WORKERS WIFE WITH HIS KIDS IN THEIR 06 DURANGO, LUCKILY SHE WAS ONLY TRAVELING AT ABOUT 30 TO 35 MPH AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. NOW MY KEY FOB WONT EVEN OPEN THE DOOR, IT ACTS AS IF ITS DEAD OR BROKEN. I HAVE TO USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE TRUCK MANUALLY WHICH SETS OFF THE ALARM EVERY TIME I UNLOCK THE DOOR. THE SAME ELECTRICAL PROBLEM I STARTED WITH IS TIED T

EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK, THE NOZZLE DOESN'T SHUT OFF, AND GAS GOES ALL OVER ME AND THE GROUND. NOT TO MENTION ON THE PAINT OF THE CAR,CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE PAINT. ALSO IT IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AT A GALLON A WEEK ON THE GROUND. THE 2005 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR THIS VERY SAME REASON, SEEMS REASONABLE TO RECALL THE 2006. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHERE A SPARK COULD END UP CAUSING AN EXPLOSION. *TR

EVERY TIME THIS VEHICLE IS FILLED TO FULL IT SPEWS GAS OUT OF THE TANK AT THE PUMP OPERATOR RESULTING IN GAS ON THE PERSON FUELING VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL SERVICE STATIONS THIS IS NOT A PUMP ISSUE THE ISSUE IS WITH THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL STATION ATTENDANTS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM. I BELIEVE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY BURNED BY A SPARK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATE THAT THE WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSE THAT THE CAM SHAFT CENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR MY FUEL TANK SPRAYS OUT GAS AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. EVEN IF I DON'T USE THE GAS PUMP AUTO SHUTOFF WHILE FILLING AS SOON AS THE TANK IS FULL IT SPRAYS GAS OUT AND ALSO POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE ONTO THE GROUND. I ALWAYS NEED TO TAKE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID AND WASH OFF MY VEHICLE AND POUR IT ONTO THE GROUND SO THERE IS NOT A PUDDLE OF GAS SITTING ON THE GROUND. NOW I ONLY FILL MY TANK 1/2 FULL WHEN FUELING TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. *TR

GAS SPEWED ALL OVER ME AND MY VEHICLE (WHILE PUMPING GAS) AFTER THE TANK REACHED FULL. IT HAS DONE IT EVERY TIME I'VE FILLED IT UP SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LAMP ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,393.

WE WERE DRIVING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO VEER OFF THE ROAD ON A SIDE STREET AND COAST DOWN INTO A PARKING LOT. BY THIS POINT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT OF THE VEHICLE VENTS ON THE DASHBOARD. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A PART BROKE AT FIRST. MY HUSBAND OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE FIRES AND NOT A LOT OF SMOKE. SMOKE STARTED COMING MORE AND MORE QUICKLY OUT OF THE VENTS. WE GOT OUR 3 CHILDREN OUT OF THE CAR. BY THIS POINT SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT. MY HUSBAND RAN INTO A BUILDING AND CALLED FOR HELP. THE BUSINESS GAVE US A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. AS MY HUSBAND RAN BACK TO THE DURANGO FLAMES HE SAW THE DASHBOARD START TO COLLAPSE. NEXT THING WE KNEW FLAMES WERE FLYING UP THE FRONT WINDOW. HE USED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER ON IT. THE FIREMAN ARRIVED AND HELPED MAKE SURE THE FIRE WAS COMPLETELY OUT. *TR

WHILE USING MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL, MY RIGHT BLINKERS CAME ON. WHILE USING MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, MY LEFT BLINKERS CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN THE PAST YEAR. MORE RECENTLY, MY WIPERS WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY BLINKERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. *TR

FUEL SPEWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AFTER THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUTOFF STOPS FUEL FLOW INTO THE TANK. THERE IS A ONE OR TWO SECOND LAG BEFORE THE FUEL SPEWS OUT AFTER SHUTOFF. FUEL SPILLS ONTO THE CAR, THE GROUND AND THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK IF THEY HAPPEN TO BE REMOVING THE PUMP NOZZLE AT THAT MOMENT. THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED WITH EACH SUCCESSIVE FILLUP SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SHOOTS GAS OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING UP WITH GAS. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE 2009 AND I JUST FOUND OUT YESTERDAY WHEN GETTING A RECALL (WIPERS) FIXED THAT A RECALL FOR 2005 HAD THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2006 DODGE DURANGO MODELS. *TR

EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED GAS SPILLS FROM THE TANK. IT SHOOTS TO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND GETS ON MY HANDS, LEGS, SHOES, SIDE OF CAR AND GROUND. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE ISSUE. THIS EFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT, MYSELF, MY FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO HAS TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE GAS THAT IS LEFT ALL OVER MY CAR, MYSELF AND THE GROUND. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP WITH GAS, GAS STARTED SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS COVERED HEAD TO TOE IN GAS AND IT WAS FLOWING DOWN THE PAVEMENT AT THE GAS STATION. WHAT IF SOMEONE HAD DISCARDED A LIT CIGARETTE? I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE DODGE DURANGO'S. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED! IT HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR

RIGHT TURN WORK IN REAR, BUT NOT IN THE FRONT, LEFT SIDE WORK OPPOSITE, HEAD LIGHT LEFT WORK ON LOW, BUT NOT ON HIGH, RIGHT WORK OPPOSITE, FOG LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. *TR

FILLING GAS TANK. WHEN THE PUMP KICKS OFF AT FULL I GET GAS KICKING BACK OUT OF TANK. ACTUALLY ITS ALOT OF GAS ALL OVER SIDE OF VEHICLE AND GROUND. IF IM HOLDING GAS NOZZLE I GET GAS ON MY ARM. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND DON'T KNOW IF PREVIOUS OWNER MADE COMPLAINTS. THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I FILL TANK. *TR

THE LAST TWO TIMES THAT I HAVE FILLED UP MY DURANGO SEVERAL OUNCES OF GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT OF THE TANK JUST BEFORE IT SHUTS OFF. I'M AFRAID THIS COULD CAUSE QUITE THE FIRE IF A SPARK IGNITES IT. *TR

WHILE FUELING OUR 2006 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WHEN THE VEHICLE TANK BECAME FULL THE FUEL NOZZLE ON THE PUMPED KICKED OFF, BUT THEN FUEL BEGAN SPEWING OUT OF THE VEHICLE FUELING SPOUT DUE TO AN APPARENT FAILURE OF THE TANK VALVE FLAP THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRENCE. APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A GALLON OF GAS SPEWS OUT EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS, MOSTLY ON THE CAR, BUT ALSO ON MINE OR MY WIFE'S HANDS AND SHOES. THIS IS PROBABLY THE 90-100TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OUR VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN LATE 2006, AND THERE ARE MANY OTHER 2006 DURANGO OWNERS ON THIS SITE AND THE DODGE DURANGO CLUBS WEB SITES THAT COMPLAIN OF THE SAME FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE 2005 DURANGO WAS RECALLED FOR THE SAME FAILURE, BUT THE 2006 HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FIRE OR SOMEONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED TO GET THIS CORRECTED. WE PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE NEW FOR THIS OCCURRENCE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK UP. THE DEALERSHIP IGNORES THE ISSUE, AND CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED, AND MAY REFUND ME IF IT IS FOUND TO BE A FAULTY PART. I CANNOT AFFORD THE $600 THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO DO THIS WORK (DRAINING AND REMOVING THE TANK). SOMEONE NEEDS TO TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THIS ISSUE AND HELP US OUT WITH IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR A FIRE IS CAUSED BY IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAITED FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AT A REPAIR SHOP AND THE FAILURE WAS FOUND IN THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR AS WELL AS THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE SENSORS AND THE IGNITION SWITCH; HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED CONSTANTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

WAS PUMPING FUEL AND THE NOZZLE CLICKED OFF AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUEL CAME SPLASHING OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

WHEN TRYING TO PUT FUEL TO FILL UP THE CAR GAS EXPLODES OUT OF TANK. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE, IT'S PROBABLY AT LEAST A HALF GALLON EACH AND EVERY TIME, IT GETS ALL OVER ME THE VEHICLE THE GROUND. IT'S TO THE POINT WERE I CAN'T EVEN FILL UP, FUEL SHOULDN'T COME OUT WHEN FILLING A VEHICLE UP AND WITH THE SUMMER MONTHS UPON US THIS IS A GREAT HAZARD. I WOULD FIGURE THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AND WOULD NEED TO BE FIXED, 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME THING, BUT I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING FOR THE 2006 DODGE DURANGOS. *TR

MY DODGE DURANGO HAS BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM FOR AWHILE. I FINALLY DID SOME ONLINE READING OF POSTS AND FOUND OTHER DRIVERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ALMOST EVERY DAY WHEN I START MY SUV THE RPM'S REV UP AND DOWN. IT ALSO DOES THIS WHEN I AM SITTING AT A DRIVE-THU LINE, STOP SIGN, OR IN TRAFFIC. IT ALSO HAS DIED ON ME WHEN DRIVING. MOSTLY WHEN COMING FROM A STOP, BUT HAPPENS WHEN MAKING TURNS, OR SOMETIMES JUST FOR NO REASON AT ALL. IF IT DOESN'T STALL IT HESITATES. IT ALSO WILL JUMP FORWARD WHEN COMING TO A STOP. LIKE I SAID THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AWHILE. WE HAVE SERVICED THE SUV FOR REPAIR EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE REPAIR SHOP THEN FIXES OR CLEANS CERTAIN PARTS/AREAS, JUST FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. YESTERDAY (JUNE 27, 2012) IT STOPPED WORKING WITH ALL MY CHILDREN IN THE SUV AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN A SHOP WHILE THE TECHS SCRATCH THEIR HEADS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES FULL OR NEARLY FULL THE FUEL "BURPS" OUT SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NEARLY 100% OF THE TIME. THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE NOT CLOSING PROPERLY THIS CREATES A RISK OF FIRE AND IS LIKELY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE 2005 DURANGO THAT HAS A RECALL FOR THIS REASON. *JB

GASOLINE SPITS BACK FROM THE GAS TANK EVERY TIME THAT THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP. THE CHECK VALUE IS DEFECTIVE AND COULD EASILY START A FIRE DURING THE FILL-UP BECAUSE IT DOES NOT PROPERLY SHUT OFF. I CAN NOT COMPLETELY FILL UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT THE DANGER OF SPRAYING GASOLINE EVERYWHERE AT THE GAS STATION. A TSB WAS ISSUED, BUT IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. *JB

ANYTIME WE FILL THE DURANGO AND GAS COMES BACK OUT WHEN THE NOZZLE IS REMOVED. THERE IS SO MUCH GAS THAT COMES OUT THAT WE HAVE TO CLEAN IT UP FROM THE GROUND AND IT HAS CAUSED BUBBLES IN THE PAINT WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN SURFACE RUST. DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED FROM CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND TOLD US THERE WAS A CLOGGED FILTER. WE GOT THE FILTERS REPLACED AND WHEN MY HUSBAND FILLED IT UP TODAY 6/26/2012 HE SAID AT LEAST 1/2 GALLON OF GAS CAME BACK OUT OF THE CAR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS LEAVING GAS ALL ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY WE CAN KEEP THE GAS FROM COMING OUT IS TO REMOVE THE NOZZLE AFTER EVERY SINGLE GALLON. THE FUEL SENSOR INSIDE THE CAR WILL EVEN REGISTER FULL AT 16 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE TANK IS 26 GALLONS. WE ARE WASTING ALL KINDS OF MONEY FROM THE GAS COMING UP, COST OF REPAIRING THE PAINT AND REMOVING RUST AND THE MONEY WE SPENT ON REPLACING FILTERS THAT HAVE MADE THIS ISSUE WORSE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT WAS FIXED IN 2005 VEHICLES BUT NOTHING FOR 2006 AND HIGHER EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. SOME DODGE DEALERSHIPS ARE EVEN CALLING OWNERS LIARS SAYING THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ANY ISSUE LIKE THIS OR ANY RECALLS EVER FOR THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE DODGE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE. THE GAS THAT SPILLS IS GOING TO END UP CAUSING A FIRE AND KILLING PEOPLE ONE OF THESE DAYS. *JB

WHEN REFUELING VEHICLE CHECK VALVE IN FUEL FILLER NECK IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING GASOLINE TO BE EJECTED AT HIGH VOLOCITY WHEN THE GAS PUMP HANDLE SHUTS OFF. OWNER HAD CUTICLES ON LEFT FOOT BURNED FROM SKIN CONTACT WITH LIQUID GASOLINE. MANY VIDEOS POSTED ON YOUTUBE DEMONSTRATING THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECT BY RECALLING SELECT VIN'S KNOWING THE SAME PART WAS INSTALLED WITHOUT MODIFICATION IN MANY MORE VEHICLES NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. THIS IS JUST 1 CLIP HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?FEATURE=ENDSCREEN&V=KBWGVMYY3VM&NR=1 *TT

OWN DURANGO BUILT JAN 2006, GAS IS PUT IN IT, CLICK OFF NOZZLE, GAS COMES BACK OUT FORCEFULLY OVER THE VEHICLE, GROUND AND MYSELF. IT IS TERRIFYING AND DANGEROUS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ON THE 2005. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT. I BARELY DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM SO TERRIFIED TO PUT GAS IN IT. I TRIED TO EMAIL DODGE AND THE EMAIL DOES NOT GO THROUGH. I CALLED ON THE RECALL AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS FOR THE 2005 AND I CAN HAVE THE DEALER FIX IT AND MAYBE THEY WILL HELP. I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE PART ALONE IS $550 AND I DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND I DON'T HAVE 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. HERE IS THE RECALL: JANUARY 2009 -- CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 19,024 MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO VEHICLES. THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE CAN RESULT IN A FIRE. DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. VEHICLES FOUND TO HAVE A SUSPECT INLET CHECK VALVE WILL HAVE THE FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2009. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHRYSLER AT 1-800-853-1403. THIS RECALL WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL QUERY, RQ08-005, CONDUCTED BY THE OFFICE OF DEFECTS INVESTIGATION. 09V-003 MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT OF 2006: HTTP://WWW.AUTOMOTIX.NET/AUTOREPAIR/CAR_PROBLEMS/DODGE-DURANGO/2006/FUEL_SYSTEM_

AT THE END OF REFUELING, GAS SPEWS FROM THE FILLER NECK AND SHOOTS OUT ONTO EVERYTHING IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA. GAS SPILLS ONTO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. *JS

TL* THE CONTACTS OWN A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS TOLD THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED BECAUSE HER KEYS WERE TOO HEAVY. THE KEYS WERE REMOVED AND LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AGAIN AND THE CONTACT RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO TESTED THE FUEL PUMP BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. A MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,490.

EVERY TIME AT FILL UP WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF FUEL SHOOTS/SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK OPENING. DOING RESEARCH ON LINE I'VE DISCOVERED MANY OTHER DODGE DURANGO'S WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN A TSB # 14-001-12 AND NHTSA REF. # 10043594 ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND DURANGOS WITH CERTAIN VIN#S HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS TSB. I THOUGHT ALL 2006 DURANGOS WOULD BE FIXED WITH THIS TECH. SERVICE BULLETIN. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER ON 6/9/12 ABOUT HAVING THE PROBLEM FIXED I WAS TOLD MY VIN # WAS NOT COVERED IN THE TSB. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAD A REP. CALL ME AND ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THAT SHE NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I REFERRED TO THE TSB NOTICE AND SHE STILL ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALL 2006 DURANGOS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE LIFETIME WARRANTY ON PARTS AND REPAIRS LISTED IN TSB 14-001-12. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD VERY WELL RESULT IN FIRE AND DEATH. *TR

4-8 OUNCES OF GASOLINE SPILLS EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK, WHETHER IN AUTOMATIC MODE OR TRYING TO MINIMIZE FLOW RATE FROM THE PUMP MANUALLY. *JS

THE GAS TANK SPRAYS A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE BACK OUT OF THE TANK EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED. THIS IS A FLAMMABLE AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. IT IS THE SAME SYMPTOM AS IN THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO RECALL, YET THE '06S ARE NOT INCLUDED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, YET DODGE WILL NOT CORRECT THIS, AND IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR TO THE CONSUMER. *TT

THIS VIN HAS A RECURRING GASOLINE FUEL SPIT-BACK PROBLEM. FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES + 5 YEARS OWNERSHIP AND CONTINUES. VEHICLE CANNOT BE FUELED TO 'FULL' WITHOUT APPROXIMATELY 12 OUNCES OF FUEL SPIT-BACK AND OVERFLOW ONTO VEHICLE BODY AND GROUND. EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS. NOT COVERAGE BY RECALL OR WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE OVERFLOWS. AUTO-SHUTOFF DOES NOT FUNCTION AND GAS SPILLS OUT OF FILLER PIPE ONTO GROUND. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE THE GASOLINE SPILLED OVER AND OUT OF THE GAS TANK. IT HAS DONE THAT ALMOST EVERYTIME I TRY TO FILL THIS DURANGO UP AT THE GAS STATION.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AT MULTIPLE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND PUMPS, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOW FAILS TO SHUT OFF BEFORE GAS SPILLS OR SPRAYS OUT OF THE TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK, GASOLINE POURED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 73,000.

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND OR TWO LATER, ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GAS SPRAYS OUT. THIS PROBLEM KEEPS GETTING WORSE. I'VE TRIED TO FILL IT UP ON THE LOWEST SETTING AND I'VE TRIED PULLING THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK SOME SO THE (HARMFUL) VAPORS CAN ESCAPE. IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME AND THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND, MYSELF AND OTHERS AROUND ME. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT FIXED. THIS PROBLEM IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL. I WILL BE POSTING MY YOUTUBE VIDEO ALONG WITH THE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS TO SHOW HOW UNSAFE THIS ISSUE IS AND HOW IT IS BEING HANDLED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SAFETY ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED. HOPEFULLY THIS ISSUE GETS RESOLVED BEFORE A REAL INJURY IS REALIZED. *JS

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE TANK OVERFLOWS SPRAYING GAS ALL OVER. *TR

GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER GROUND AND VEHICLE WHEN FILLING UP. AFTER PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, YOU CAN HEAR THE GASOLINE SUCK BACK UP AND THAN IT SPRAYS OUT. *TR

FUEL SPILL / SPIT BACK DURING REFUELING DUE TO FAULTY INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV). OCCURS EVERY TIME WHEN REFILLING TANK. GAS HAS SPILLED ON MY CLOTHES AND CAUSED IRRITATION TO MY SKIN. IT ALSO SPILLS ALL OVER GROUND. THIS IS BOTH A FLAMMABLE HAZARD AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE CUSTOMER CARE IN 2012. THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE # AND CASE MANAGER. THE CASE MANAGER LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAID THE DEFECT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL SHUT OFF VALVE IN THE VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONED. BOUGHT USED A FEW WEEKS AGO AND HAVE FILLED UP 3 TIMES NOW, AND EVERY TIME, THE PUMP IS NOT ACTIVATED TO SHUT OF AND FUEL FLIES OUT O THE GAS TANK, GETTING ALL OVER THE VEHICLE, THE GAS PUMP, AND SOMETIMES THE PERSON PUMPING THE GAS. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!! *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT 3 1/2 YEARS OLD. IT DID NOT DO THIS FROM THE BEGINNING OF OWNERSHIP. WHEN FUELING THE CAR, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO FILL IT UP COMPLETELY, THERE IS ALWAYS A BACK SPLASH OF FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND ONTO THE CAR, PAVEMENT AND OF COURSE, THE PERSON FILLING UP THE CAR. I AM NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETELY FILL UP THE CAR BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A FIRE OCCURRING. NOT SAFE AT ALL. MY RESEARCH FOUND THAT 2005 DODGE DURANGOS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V034000), YET NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN DONE TO FIX THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2006 MODELS. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! *TR

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE FILL TUBE AS THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS POSES A SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION. IT HAS ALSO RUSTED THE AREA BELOW THE FILL TUBE. *TR

WHILE FUELING THE CAR AT THE GAS STATION I KEEP CONTINUING TO HAVE BACK-FLOW OF GAS WHEN FILLING UP. IT IS HAPPENING EVERY-TIME AND I THINK THIS IS NOT A SAFE THING TO HAVE GAS COMING FLYING BACK OUT AND GETTING OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE FOUND THERE IS A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THE 2005 MODELS AND NOW THE 2006'S ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE INQUIRY IS RQ08005 AND THE RECALL IS 05V034000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK ASSEMBLY FILLER PIPE AND CAP). WE NEED TO PRESSURE THEM TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR ALL THE DURANGO'S. *TR

WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, FUEL SPITS BACK OUT AT THE OWNER AND DOWN THE QUARTER PANEL, EVERY TIME. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED ONE MONTH AGO. WE'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS PUMPS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS OWNED BY DIFFERENT COMPANIES. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT COVERS EARLIER DURANGOS. I RATHER LICK A FAT CLOWN'S [XXX] THAN BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 RECALLS TO DATE ON THE MODEL YEAR 2005 DURANGO, 44,951 ALL TOGETHER. WITH MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPRAYS OUT OF THE FILL TUBE BECAUSE OF A CHECK VALVE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. NO WARNINGS, NO LETTERS TO THE OWNERS OF THE DURANGO NOW TO ADVISE THEM TO USE CAUTION. PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION NOW AND HAVE THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE CORRECTED FOR ALL OF THE DURANGO OWNERS ON THE ROAD TODAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCNERN. THE PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED IN EARLIER MODELS, AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE 2006 MODELS AS WELL.

DURING REFUELING, WHEN THE FUEL NOZZLE STOPS, THERE IS AN OVERFLOW OF FUEL SPRAYING OUT OF THE FUEL TANK NECK. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR YOUR AGENCY TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION? FOR AN INDIVIDUAL TO BURN WHILE PUMPING GAS DUE TO A SPARK OR EVEN WORSE, TO DIE? THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME CAR ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THE 2006 MODEL SINCE IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM? *TR

GASOLINE SPRAYS BACK ONTO PERSON FILLING THE TANK AFTER THE PUMP KICKS OFF. SAFETY ISSUE JUST PURCHASED AS A USED VEHICLE FROM THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN PULASKI , WI S&L MOTORS 2298 HWY 32 PULASKI,WI 54162 *JS

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GASOLINE, THE GAS WILL COME SPILLING OUT ONCE THE TANK IS FULL. APPROXIMATELY A PINT OF GASOLINE COMES SQUIRTING OUT, DOUSING THE HANDLE, SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVING A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND. THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS TO NOT HAPPEN IS TO PREVENT FILLING THE CAR GAS TANK. I.E. ONE CANNOT LET THE GAS OVERFLOW MECHANISM DETERMINE WHEN IT IS FULL. A RECALL WAS ALREADY MADE FOR THE 2005 DURANGO UNDER RECALL ID# 05V034000. MY USED 2006 VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. *JS

BEGINNING ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO SLT BEGAN SPEWING GASOLINE EVERYTIME I FILLED MY CAR AT THE GAS STATION. IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS SINCE THAT TIME AND EVEN THOUGH DODGE HAS ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SINCE MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REPAIR I AM OUT OF LUCK. I FILED AN APPEAL WITH DODGE AND IT SEEMS THE CRITERIA FOR WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIR WILL BE COVERED IS BASED ON WHETHER I AM A GOOD DODGE CUSTOMER. QUESTIONS SUCH AS DID I USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, DID I OWN OTHER DODGE CARS, ETC. I THINK THAT SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, THAT DODGE SHOULD STAND BEHIND ITS CARS AND MAKE THE REPAIR. THIS ATTITUDE GUARANTEES THAT I WILL NOT BE A DODGE CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. *JS
